A Page from my Journal...March 18

FOR TODAY


Outside my window... It is going to be a lovely, yet chilly day.  Cars pass quickly on their way to work

I am thinking...  That I soon have to get Aidan up and dressed for school.  He has his Arts-Centered performance today.

I am thankful for... The nice weather we have been having lately.

From the kitchen...  The smell of coffee wafts in.  Mmmm coffee!

I am wearing...  Jeans, a long sleeved striped shirt with my black t-shirt over top (it has puffed sleeves!!)

I am creating... More videos soon of trips, birthdays, etc.  I hope to make some more DVDs soon.  The kids love watching themselves on TV!

I am going... To go to Aidan's school this morning and watch his performances.  Dancing and Choir!

I am reading... "Lake of Dreams" by Kim Edwards.  Its a bit eerie as it starts out with the main character living in Japan where they are experiencing lots of earthquakes....Perhaps it is too early to read a book with that kind of subject matter.

I am hoping... That the people in Japan are safe, and are going to be alright.  I pray for them often.

I am hearing...  The cars race pass and the coffee maker.

Around the house...  There are toys, clutter and dust.  A reminder that I need to clean before Aidan's party next week.

One of my favorite things...  Is just to sit in the silence before the kids get up.  So nice and calm...

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Well, church on Saturday, taxes, a Ranger meeting, laundry

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Friday Fill-in: Party Animals

Tomorrow is Miss Ems 4th birthday party.  She is really excited.  I hope everything goes alright.  She wanted an Animal birthday, so that is what we are going with!  Should be awesome.


Since I am busy cleaning, baking and prepping for 23 people (adults and kids) to descend on our modest abode, I leave you with a Friday Fill-in today!!

1. Bring your favorite mug and we can do coffee together.  Wouldn't that be fun?  With all my friends, internet and in person?  It would be fun to meet y'all.

2. Batteries are included.  Ever.  In toys.  Blah.

3. This cold weather is exactly what is making me go a little bit wonky.  I long for sun, warmth and flowers, butterflies, picnics, bbqs, bike rides, park playdates....

4. Well, you see, I am tired.  It is still early in the morning and my coffee hasn't kicked in yet.  That should explain everything!

5. I hope Spring comes soon!  

6. But what if it never stops being winter?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to decorating a cake for Emma's party with my Mom (I love cake decorating!), tomorrow my plans include throwing a birthday party for Miss Ems and then going rollerskating with my Ranger group (Please pray I don't break anything!) and Sunday, I want to take care of my blisters (I know there will be some from rollerskating), rest and relax and then watch The Amazing Race!

What I'm Singing Tonight!!

Sorry about the sound quality! Just my crappy microphone!!

Friday Fill-in: Camping

Off to camp today!!  Here's a little Friday Fill-in while I go pack!!




1. Ooooh, I have to go to camp this weekend.  Should be okay.  We are in buildings.  That will be nice.

2. It is so cold outside (-30*C/-22*F), I can't stand it!  I want spring to be here soon.  I want to do some gardening, play outside, go for walks...

3. How the heck did I end up with so many emails in my inbox?  I need to go through them again and trash a whole bunch....Time consuming, though.

4. The shoe store is one of my favorite places to visit.  I love shoes!!  I could have a whole room just devoted to shoe storage.  Wouldn't that be awesome???  Who's with me??

5. I'm not a lucky person, I'm not!  That being said, I have already won 2 coffees on Tim Horton's Roll Up the Rim to Win contest this year.  They have a button that the have to press and it makes a loud noise.  They also yell out "We have a winner!"  Makes you feel kinda special!!

6. I have been working on my testimony for Monday night and it has to be good.  Well, it doesn't have to be.  I just want to show God's work in my life for His Glory.  It has been fun to see where God has taken me.  Now if only I can find a song that I want to sing...

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to camp, tomorrow my plans include more camping and Sunday, I want to come home, take a shower, cuddle my kids and rest!
